(AP) Members of the U.N. Security Council, weary after two days of marathon meetings and private consultations on the latest outbreak of fighting in the Middle East, pushed ahead today with their search for a resolution critical of Israel that all could accept. Diplomatic sources said It was generally agreed among 'dent Johnson has announced the shifting of Gen. William C. Westmoreland from Vietnam to top Pentagon job and made first evaluation, many good recommendations of the report by his commission on urban riots.

Westmoreland, the 53-year-old four-star general who has been U.S. commander in Vietnam for four years, will become Army chief of staff in July, the President told a news conference Friday. Johnson also disclosed two 'Jr other major personnel changes WESTMORELAND in the administration: ''IV i 1 vV l. tf GEN. Chiefs.

Wheelers term had been due to end July 2. In moving up to the top job at HEW, Cohen succeeds John W. Gardner, who left March 1 to become head of Urban Coalition, an organization attempting to focus the energies of both the and Welfare. The President also commented wryly, when asked how he viewed the decision of Sen. Robert F.

Kennedy to seek the Democratic presidential nomination that he was not surprised, then added: private and governmental sectors on the problems of the cities. No replacement was named for Cohen as No. 2 man in the sprawling department, second in size only to the Department of Defense. Bert Harding, Shriv-ers deputy, was designated acting director of the Office of Economic Opportunity. Johnsons comments on the report of the Kemer Commission seemed to bear out speculation that he was less than fully enthusiastic about the riot panels findings.

We felt that over-all the commission wanted to be and was constructive and helpful, he said. The report, Johnson said, was a very thorough one, very comprehensive and made many good recommendations. We did not agree with all of the recommendations, as certain statements have indicated. The report is being analyzed by the various departments and there is a general simpatico of views, I think, between the Cabinet officers who handle icse programs and the recommendations of the commission, the President said. Paoli GI Recalls Viet Experience Hamilton Prall File Former Lawrence County Surveyor Nelson Prall, 2743 Washington who lost his bid for the job in the last election, filed his declaration Friday afternoon for the Republican nomination in the May primary.

Ninth District Congressman, Lee H. Hamilton braved the ice and snow yesterday to travel 562 miles into all 16 counties in his district to file his declaration of candidacy for the Democratic May primary. The 36 year old Congressman stopped in Bedford at two oclock yesterday afternoon in his 14 hour whirlwind tour. Hospital Notes I members of the 15-nation council that Israels retaliatory attack on Jordan Thursday should be condemned. The sources said the major obstacle to agreement was a Western call for a general reference to Arab terrorist raids into Israel and Israeli-occupied Arab territory which preceded Israels large-scale attack on Jordan.

Israel said the attack was in retaliation for the raids. Algeria, one of the most militant of the Arab states and a member of the council, was said to be opposed to any such reference, however vague. One Western diplomat said Alberia describes the Arab terrorism against Israel as a manifestation of a national liberation movement. The Western members of the council also are unhappy about a provision in a draft resolution put forward unofficially by Algeria that would warn Israel of further and more effective measures by the council if Israel should repeat its military reprisal. The Western members also had offered a proposed resolution in the private negotiations but had not been able to win wide council support for it.

Up to the early hours today, no resolution had been formally presented to the council. Jordan had urged immediate application of Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter against Israel IU Educators Named To Stone Group Two I. U. educators have been named to the new four member Executive Advisory Committee of the Indiana Limestone Institute, it was announced by Institute president Robert Ingalls, Jr.

He keeps the curtain pushed back, just sitting here looking out at his car," said Flo King. She smiled as her son explained that the shiny blue 1966 model car had been his only a few days. He laughed and revealed that a used car salesman came to see him about a car, and upon finding out he couldnt walk, carried him to his car, drove him to Orleans, sold him the blue car, drove him back home and carried him in. Six or seven of Jims buddies usually come out every night and carry him to the car and take him for a ride for a little change of scene. Although he spends most of his time sitting with his leg propped up watching television, Jim is planning to take a vacation and rest up some more after he gets out of the Army.

Then, he may go put in an application at Crane NAD. He isnt sure yet just what he wants to do. Commenting on the situation in Vietnam, King said, Its one big mess.

The 79 machinist union members set up pickets which were honored by the 750 other production members. And theyd better be on time, McManus said, because the bus wont wait unless passengers are boarding or debarking from the bus.

Tickets will still have to be purchased from the bus drivers, because Greyhound has vacated the building. McManus said all freight and baggage at the Fourteenth and I terminal has been delivered to its owners, or sent back to Indianapolis. Nothing is lseft at the terminal here, he said.

Navy planes raided a North Vietnamese chemical plant for the first time in the war Friday and the U.S. Marine base at Khe Sanh came under the heaviest enemy bombardment in recent days. Military communiques shared the spotlight with news that the more than half million U.S. troops in Vietnam will have a new commander in July when Gen. William C.

Westmoreland returns to Washington to become Army chief of staff. The chemical and fertilizer plant which came off the Pentagons restricted list was th northwest of Haiphong. Navy pilots flying all-weather A6 Intruders, said their bombs touched off several secondary explosions. Air Force fighter-bombers flew within 18 miles of Red China and hit the Lang Giai railroad yard, on the main northeast rail link between China and Hanoi, for the third time this month. Other Air Force pilots reported destroying six North Vietnamese tanks or armored personnel carriers moving in a convoy toward the Mu Gia Pass into the Laotian infiltration trail.

Abrams. I would hope so, Westmoreland told a newsman. I have absolute confidence in the ability and leadership of Gen Abrams. Speaking of his regret at leaving, Westmoreland said, This feeling is particularly true in my case since I am leaving before the battle is over and peace is restored to the people of this beautiful land which has been so tom by Communist aggression.
